He'd never asked for much from his life. Just that he always be healthy, always have his family and that one day he would be graced with his own wife and family. He was still healthy, so that was a plus, but his family was no longer around. His family would never be around again and that was something that he would have to live with for the rest of his life. Never would his parents be able to meet their grandchildren, to feel their tiny tongues licking their noses or hear their first words as they called him poppa. They would never get to meet the amazing woman that was Desdemona, his wife and beautiful woman who was to be the mother of his children. Luna would never meet her sister in law, never meet her nieces and nephews. He would never hear her tease him about love struck he was or how much of a good father he was going to be. He would never be able to share everything that was amazing about his life now with his family because they were gone. Gone. Forever. And it was all his fault. It would always be his fault. Until the day he died and ever after, their deaths would always weigh down on his conscious. But he couldn't think about that right now. Desdemona was pregnant and she would soon begin to swell with the seed of their love. Her belly would begin to expand with the life growing inside of her. Soon, she would not be able to leave the den because he would not allow her to. For a time, the affairs of the pack would have to be put on hold for hers and the pups safety and well being. He knew it would be hard for her to not be able to participate in the pack for a while, she was a queen after all and had a pack to tend to, but Nnoitra was ruling beside her. He could take care of things for a bit. And even if the elder white king couldn't, then Demonio would step up and take care of things for her. He would do whatever she needed him to do in order to keep the pack running smoothly and to keep her from stressing herself out. He would take care of things. Everything would be alright. The ivory knight was wandering today, his wife off attending to more pack business. Something with alliances or other, he wasn't too sure. It wasn't any of his business, so he wouldn't worry about it for the moment. There wasn't much to do in Tortuga, so he'd wandered outside of his home turf. Not too far, just around the area, trying to get to know Alacritis just a bit better. He was a new place today, a place whose name was unknown to him for now, but a place he knew he had never been to before. It was a rather secluded area, trees circling it, keeping prying eyes, or at least those who weren't too interested in putting in the effort to spy, out while keeping in the springs. It was a very quiet, very peaceful place and Demonio couldn't think of anywhere to spend his time away from his wife. He wasn't a fan of being away from her at all, but duty called and he wasn't to just sit home and twiddle his claws. Ivory limbs carried the knight towards the closest spring, lowering him towards the earth. A quiet sigh slipped from his pale lips as he lied before the clear water, forelimbs acting a resting place for his crown, mismatched gaze on the clear water, audits twitching as he enjoyed some peaceful time to himself.
